[Elecraft] [KX3] SWR Reading Instability Follow-up

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

My only question here is WHY?

I think Mark is on the right track.  It could also be that between 
syllables, and during "quieter" times in speech we're simply not seeing 
enough RF to get off the bottom bits of the A/D converter.

Either way, looking at a wildly varying transmitter output and trying to 
somehow "track" true SWR probably lies beyond what the electronics is 
meant to do reliably.

I don't think this is poor design either: I think it fails to accurately 
measure SWR below some very low power level and we should not expect it 
to do so.

Trying to capture a stream of inaccurate data is not going to produce a 
useful result.
